The heart of the village is the palace, small by European standards but bursting with its own style and a sense of belonging in this mysterious culture-rich outpost.

The village is left behind, and leaving behind the legendary village, we leave through the single access of Lo Gekar and on to Ghar Gompa, glancing back toward Lo-Manthang one final time from the summit of a mountain before making our way into the monastery.
